Step-by-step solution for: Angles in a Triangle Worksheets - Math Monks
Let's solve each problem step by step using the properties of interior and exterior angles of a triangle:
---
1. Sum of interior angles in a triangle = 180°
2. Exterior angle = sum of two opposite interior angles
3. An exterior angle is formed when one side of a triangle is extended.
---
Now, let's go through each question:
---
Given:
- ∠D = 21°
- ∠E = 31°
We need to find the exterior angle at C, ∠ECD.
Using the exterior angle theorem:
> Exterior angle = sum of two non-adjacent interior angles
So,
$$
∠ECD = ∠D + ∠E = 21° + 31° = \boxed{52^\circ}
$$
✔ Answer: 52°
---
Given:
- ∠T = 55°
- ∠R = 39°
We are asked for ∠TQR — this is the interior angle at Q.
Use triangle angle sum:
$$
∠Q = 180° - ∠T - ∠R = 180° - 55° - 39° = \boxed{86^\circ}
$$
✔ Answer: 86°
---
Given:
- ∠O = 77°
- ∠P = 77°
We are looking for ∠MNP — that’s the angle at N.
But wait: ∠MNP is the exterior angle at N, since point M is outside.
Wait — look at the diagram: Triangle O-N-P, with angle at N labeled as ∠MNP (the exterior angle).
So we need to find the exterior angle at N.
First, find the interior angle at N:
$$
∠N = 180° - 77° - 77° = 26°
$$
Then, the exterior angle at N is supplementary to the interior angle:
$$
∠MNP = 180° - 26° = \boxed{154^\circ}
$$
✔ Answer: 154°
---
Triangle P-Q-M, with:
- ∠P = 87°
- ∠Q = 63°
We want ∠MOQ — this is the exterior angle at Q, because side QO is extended.
So use exterior angle theorem:
$$
∠MOQ = ∠P + ∠M
$$
But we don’t know ∠M yet.
Find ∠M first:
$$
∠M = 180° - 87° - 63° = 30°
$$
Then:
$$
∠MOQ = ∠P + ∠M = 87° + 30° = \boxed{117^\circ}
$$
✔ Answer: 117°
---
Triangle M-N-P:
- ∠M = 60°
- ∠N = 60°
We are to find ∠NPM — that’s the angle at P.
So:
$$
∠P = 180° - 60° - 60° = \boxed{60^\circ}
$$
This is an equilateral triangle!
✔ Answer: 60°
---
Triangle H-W-F, with:
- ∠H = 39°
- ∠W = 26°
We want ∠HFX — this is the exterior angle at F, formed by extending side HF to X.
So use exterior angle theorem:
$$
∠HFX = ∠H + ∠W = 39° + 26° = \boxed{65^\circ}
$$
✔ Answer: 65°
---
Triangle P-Q-R:
- ∠Q = 51°
- ∠R = 46°
We want ∠RPQ — that’s the angle at P.
So:
$$
∠P = 180° - 51° - 46° = \boxed{83^\circ}
$$
✔ Answer: 83°
---
Triangle ABC:
- ∠B = 47°
- ∠C = 60°
We are to find ∠XAC — this is the exterior angle at A, formed by extending side BA to X.
So, use exterior angle theorem:
$$
∠XAC = ∠B + ∠C = 47° + 60° = \boxed{107^\circ}
$$
✔ Answer: 107°
